Pros

MAYBE you will have a nice house manager (the turn over rate is BEYOND high). You can take the kids out to fun places with company money. If you focus on the kids and the kids only, it can be impactful to both them and you.

Cons

- incredibly low pay - BEYOND disrecptpful management. The women in charge of the residential department at OC are awful. They talk down to group home workers. - Don't believe when they say it is "flexible" work schedule. A girl literally got fired because she asked for more flexibility. - There are only two shifts- WED-SAT//SUN-WED. Get ready to work 40+ hours and say goodbye to your weekends. By the time you get your 3 days off, you're exhausted and over it. - When you leave the company they don't pay out on sick time - The management is so negligent. There have been SCARY, SCARY episodes that have happened in the group homes and they blame the group home workers. I wish I listened to all these warnings before I took this job, don't work at a place where you are cared so little about, have a chance to be sued 24/7, are at risk/danger, plus you barely make above minimum wage. Not worth it!

Pros

It was nice to work with families and a team

Cons

The supervisor was out most of the time. I had to request for additional support because it wasn't being provided during my probation period.
